TUNABLE EXTERNAL CAVITY LASERS

TUNICS TUNABLE EXTERNAL CAVITY LASERS photonetics

ULTIMATE DESIGN FEATURES FOR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE Output Laser diode Collimating lens Bulk grating ULTRA-STABLE SELF-ALIGNED LASER CAVITY A.R. coating Dihedral reflector Self-aligned external laser cavity Dispersed wavelengths Selected lasing wavelength TUNICS external laser cavity design guarantees long-term top performance because of its self-aligned configuration. In most laser cavities, minute changes in the position of the optical elements, caused by mechanical drifts over time, can rapidly degrade both the power and spectral purity. In contrast, the patented TUNICS cavity design uses a dihedral rear reflector made with a 180 folding prism that acts as a 1D corner cube, in order for the laser resonator to remain perfectly in tune, irrespective of small misalignments. Finally, the optical head is constructed entirely of invar, a zero-thermal-expansion metal, and therefore no temperature control of any kind is required to perform to full specifications. Benefits include instant start-up and low power dissipation. MODE-HOP-FREE OPERATION Mode-hop-free characteristic Mode hops plague most tunable laser designs and are a major probleme in many applications. Their most conspicuous manifestation is the sudden, unpredictable, and non-reproducible wavelength shifts, which make the sweep discontinuous. The scanning mechanism in TUNICS has a geometry that maintains at all times the cavity length at a fixed multiple of the wavelength. In addition, TUNICS-Plus features a new active control of the cavity. This guarantees a large range of smooth spectral sweep, free of any mode hops over the entire (min. 100 nm) tuning range. INTERNAL WAVELENGTH REFERENCING The wavelength accuracy of an external cavity laser depends on sub-micrometer variation of the cavity length. TUNICS-Plus incorporates an internal referencing system to precisely measure the emitted wavelength, thus avoiding the need of an additional wavelength-meter in test systems.

TUNICS is a complete family of state-of-the-art tunable external-cavity lasers designed to meet the most demanding requirements in fiber-optic component and system testing, in particular for DWDM applications. Its novel, proprietary optical design features provide a unique range of user benefits. FULL-POWER ASE-NOISE-FREE OPERATION An external-cavity laser-diode emits a single line, but also some background broadband amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). This residual ASE noise must be filtered out to perform an accurate testing of components and amplifiers. TUNICS-Purity is the perfect solution because it emits a truly pure ASE-noise-free single-mode laser line while maintaining a high power and all features of state-of-the-art external cavity lasers. TUNICS-Purity features a new patended intra-cavity filtering design and avoids the need of an additional filter that often causes drift and loss. This ASE-noise-free configuration is also available as an option for the well-known TUNICS-OM modular source. It brings a key improvement for testing very high bit rate multi-wavelength transmission systems. TUNICS-Purity ASE-noise-free spectrum AMPLE OPTICAL POWER FROM 1260 TO 1640 nm Fast, reliable, noise-free measurements of high-performance telecommunication components and systems often present challenging power-budget constraints, which only a high-power, yet low-noise source can resolve. The high-performance laser diodes used in TUNICS and the highly-efficient external cavity design lead to a high output power over a wide tuning range. More than +6 dbm is routinely available at the optical connector of TUNICS in the central portion of their spectral range. A full suite of specifically designed laser diodes covers the 1260 nm to 1640 nm spectral range for the present and future needs for DWDM transmission systems. In all cases, the automatic power 15 dbm control holds power constant within ±0.01 db over time. 12 dbm 9 dbm 6dBm 3 dbm TUNICS-Plus and -Purity XS 1300 XS 1400 Plus S Plus SC Plus CL Plus 10 Plus L 1200 1300 1400 1500 1600 1700 nm Plus S S-Band Wide choice of wavelength ranges Purity SC C-Band Plus 10 Plus SC L-Band Purity CL Plus CL Plus L 0 dbm -3 dbm 1420 1440 1460 1480 1500 1520 1540 1560 1580 1600 1620 1640 nm Plus models Purity models 220 nm Power vs wavelength typical performance Output power of TUNICS-Plus and TUNICS-Purity models
